We have heard that ships belonging to Postumus arrived at Puteoli, and
merchandize belonging to him was seen there, things only showy and of no
real value, made of paper, and linen, and glass; and there were several
ships entirely filled with such articles; but there was also one little
ship, the contents of which were not known.” That voyage to
Puteoli, (such was the conversation at that time,) and the course taken by
the crew, and the parade they made, and the fact, too, of the name of
Postumus being rather unpopular with some spiteful people, on account of
some idea or other respecting his money, filled in one summer numbers of
ears with those topics of conversation.
